Currently, she manages a prospective birth cohort study at MGH which focuses on perinatal and early childhood risk and resilience factors to pediatric- and adult-onset psychopathology, for which she designs, manages, and deploys surveys via REDCap; meets with important hospital stakeholders across multiple departments including Psychiatry, Neonatology, and OB/GYN; designs and runs process evaluations; and manages regulatory documents and a small research support staff. In addition, she recently completed a two-year evaluation of NASTAD's National Harm Reduction Technical Assistance Center, for which she collected, compiled, and analyzed both quantitative and qualitative data on implementation gaps, program acceptability, and program impact. She plans to get her PhD in Clinical Psychology and work at the intersection of population-based implementation science and psychotherapeutic mechanisms for 1) disrupting cycles of intergenerational trauma between parent and child and 2) promoting resilience factors throughout pregnancy and early childhood.
